emFhaticalIy deny they have any knowl-
edge of British navy plans obtained from
Ferry, tie discharged drauGhtman. TIE
London Telegraph, however, says that
if il should prove true that the Ameri-
can legation did get such information in

sweep the country.
A new paper out west has started
under difficulties. 1t tells its own story
as follows: "We began the publication
of the Roccay Mountain Cyclone with
some phew diphphiculties il the way. The
type phounders phrom when We bought
out output phor this printing ophphice
bhailel to supply us with any ephs or
Gays, aud it will be phouF OF phive week

The death OF Capt Jas. B. Eads at
Nassau, New Providence, removes one of
the greatest of engineers and one of the
| most energetic men America has pro-
duced. His greatest finished work is the
system of jetties at the mouth of the
Mississippi OF late he has been very
aetice in pressing to completion the
plans and arrangements of the ship rail-
way across the isthmus, He will be
greatly missed.
The \. 2. r. II. is agitating the build

that if they could say to the next Con-

of forfeiture. It is rumored that they
have the offer of very large construc-
ton company to build the road for The
land.
The new country of Waliowa, recently
made by the Oregon legislature, Is
| splendid country, only known since
Joseph's war, 1t is now nicely settled
mp, is very rich rs grazing and I, ling
| land, and has 4 railroad project. to
carry lis produce to La Grandc. Soon
it will hear the tread of the iron horse
and with its daily mail and rapid trans
portation will take its place with the old
and tried, instead of the new and chang
ing.
Kilrain and Launar, two American

batterIng themselves up almost beyond
recognition. Lannan got knocked
out" but he intends to help defend the
coast, anyhow. Sullivan may be very
useful man, yet when We have 10 otLer
defeuses. 1t may be found that Boston
is onIy playing Yankee trick i'll giving
the world such a coteric of pugilists.
The G. & 0. road rorthward 10 con-
meet with the o. & e. ROAD 1T Ashland,
will be pushed through early this spring.
At present it reaches Montana near
Yreka. Sixty miles of staging now fills
up the gap, and it is represented as al
most impossible. This present season,
however, will lay aside the stage or this
old route, where they have run for s.
years The travelling public will not be
sorry, but many an old whip" who has
learned this road and know no other
business will feel lost, as the iron horse
rolls by without the necessity of relay.
Portland and San Diego viii shake
hands gladly, however, and we shall
wait hopefully.
